It is a jaw dropping Cinema by any definition. I would get goosebumps every time I walked through the theater doors. But, by his own admission, the only "shortcoming" is that he isn't currently getting true HDR out of his 19' wide screen. I think he is running 4K/WCG, which based on my past experience, gives up only a smidgen to the real thing.
So many people contributed to the success of the final project - it's hard to single out anyone (and I'm afraid I'll inadvertantly leave someone out)! Keith does mention some of the special people on his website at the end of the piece on my theater. They were the ones who made it happen. His build thread says it all...Keith Yates, Fluid Dynamics algorithms for design and the best building principles, materials, construction and thinking.

That is not simply a home theater, or dedicated home theater, it is from the ground up a professional, I would buy ticket's to go see a movie there theater. But with none of the compromises, or VERY little, that commercial theaters have to deal with. It is a no compromise i want the best...period. And its truly stunning to behold and I am sure the photo's no matter how well done don't do it justice. May's project of the month is a dedicated listening room incorporating YG Anat speakers and BMC amplifiers and DACs.

I'd like to thank Mark Seaton who suggested I contact a guy named Keith Yates as someone I should consider for help in designing my theater. I've written at length in the other threads about how special Keith is, so I won't repeat all that here. Anyone who can have Keith in his corner is an extremely lucky person! You know, I just built a very nice theater - professionally designed and installed - It's awesome.... You can read the original HToM post here . And once he decided to go for it, he basically demolished half his house and built a custom theater—no shortcuts taken—from the ground up.
We watched Gravity and the low noise floor truly gave an amazing impression of space - particularly when the space debris exploded onto the scene. The dynamic range knocked me for a loop and even in my nice theater, I don't have that. I've never been in a more quiet room. I'm an avid AV enthusiast, photographer, video producer, and drone pilot who spends his spare time exploring cities, listening to music, watching movies, and playing video games.
A few words about…™ – Westworld -Season Four — in 4k UHD
But given his passion , he will eventually get that solved given the rapid improvements in display technology. This no-holds-barred theater is well known to AVS Forum regulars who frequent the site and follow the Home Theater of the Month series... It sets the standard for performance. The theater’s owner, Rob Hahn is a retired Hollywood cinematographer with A-list credentials , which helps explain where the inspiration—as well as the resources—to build this epic theater came from. Even though it took 3 years to design and build, it was really a decades-long process. My wife and I were invited out for a weekend to the Hahn theater and watched a movie and many demos in that room until late at night .
You can just label it Home Theater of the Century. Rob's theater is better than any commercial theater it just happens to be attached to his home.
But my demos don't do justice next to Rob's.. I just can't image how the micro-LED screens will ever solve the "acoustically transparent" requirement. Speakers above and below the screen and "fixing" with something like a Trinnov would be a really poor option .
An outstanding achievement for sure. The new Christie uber projector seems to be the natural choice for this theatre.... Keith Yates has informed me that the Hahn Theater ebook featuring the schematics and additional images and info is currently lo-res but that soon it'll be updated so you can click through to a hi-res version. Fortunately, I didn't kill my experience in my own theater...
Fortunately there is a full build thread on AVS Forum along with a very extensive discussion, which you can find here . I would like to include John Hibbard - he was the site supervisor on our job and was superb in coordinating all the complex tasks for our entire home project. He quickly realized that he needed help for the theater portion and he and Rick Koch, Davenport's general contractor, decided that Bob Cebulski should be the guy. Bob worked closely with Rick's son, Gill and the theater's construction is as wonderful as it is because of their diligence and extraordinary attention to detail. I could never build this theater but I would buy a ticket twice a week.
In this context, the Hahn Theater by Keith Yates Design represents an ideal—cover all the bases needed to deliver a "truly reference" viewing experience in a home theater. A man who understands what it takes to turn sound into something tangible, visceral, that tricks you into thinking what you hear is real... And then tie it into what's on screen in a manner that achieves transcendental suspension of disbelief.
